Contract Dispute? Or Fraud?
Fraud allegations are sometimes a convenient way for people engaged in business with others to try to rescue some value from a business deal that "went bad." The "wronged party" accuses the other of fraud as a way to use government prosecutors as bill collectors. The complaining witness assumes or expects that restitution will be part of a deal struck by the prosecution and the accused — resulting in recovery of at least some of the value that was allegedly lost through the bad deal.
